Hipseat by HippyChick
The Hipseat by HippyChick is the most revolutionary child care product to hit the Australian Market. It will prevent back pain in any parent or carer who has to carry a child on their hip. This product is a fabulous alternative to a baby sling which is only suited to very small babies.
One of the best features of the HippyChick is that the child is ‘easy off, easy on’. There are no straps or buckles to bother with every time you want to pick up or put down your child.
This product really is a saviour if you have the slightest back problem or want to prevent problems in later years. This amazing hipseat bears the weight of your baby or child and redirects it to your hip.
Light weight, discreet in black, the Hipseat is also great for Dads.
Endorsed by osteopaths, physiotherapists and health centres, the hipseat redistributes the weight of the child away from the upper back, shoulders and arms, spreading it evenly around the waist.
Fitting the Hipseat:
1. Breath in. Wrap belt tight around waist with seat above right hip.
2. Apply velcro. secure with outer safety strap. Swivel around to preferred hip.
3. Place child on seat with legs astride if facing in, or bottom firmly on seat if facing out.
Note: The snugger the fit the better support for your back. If pregnant consult a doctor prior to use. Always keep a hand on your child.

ERGO Carriers
ERGO Baby Carriers are the most versatile, hands-free baby carriers on the market. They are suitable for newborns (with the Infant Insert accessory) to preschoolers and can be worn on your back, front or hip.
The ergonomic design supports a correct sitting position for baby’s physical development and eliminates compression on baby’s spine. The wide shoulder straps and waist belt distribute baby’s weight evenly, alleviating physical strain for parents. Baby’s weight is drawn in towards parent’s centre of gravity, making the baby feel lighter.
ERGO offers continued support when a baby sling or front carrier is no longer comfortable. It is lighter and more secure than a hard-frame baby back-pack.
ERGO Baby Carriers come with detailed instructional DVD.
Be amazed at how light your child will feel. Enjoy the freedom!
